The fa-diab list is for the support of diabetics who believe in fat-acceptance, that is, they don't believe in intentional weight loss. It is created as an area where diabetics can discuss their disease without fear of the "lose weight or die" attitude of some diabetics and medical practitioners that is common in such other support areas.

Welcome participants are diabetics, hypoglycmics, family members of diabetics, friends of diabetics, diabetic professionals, folks concerned about diabetics etc. who are also fat-accepting. Age, gender, size, etc. are of no concern.

At this time, list subscription is open, meaning anyone can subscribe and unsubscribe at will. If we have problems this will probably change.
